Kerbside Recycling & Waste Collections - Overview

Pink Recycling and Clear Textile Recycling SacksWe offer a weekly kerbside collection scheme of the following:

  • Recycling using pink recycling sacks
  • Textiles and clothing using clear textile recycling sacks
  • Unavoidable cooked and uncooked food waste using the blue food waste collection bin
  • Refuse (landfill waste) using black refuse sacks
  • Garden waste using the green bin (opt into scheme)
  • Garden waste using pre-paid compostable sacks (opt into scheme)

In order to benefit from the collection services, we ask you to:

  • Present your pink recycling and clear textile recycling sacks, blue food waste bins, garden waste (if applicable) and black refuse sacks by 7am on your scheduled collection day.
  • Present items in a visible and accessible location at the kerbside (boundary) of the property and not obstructing the public highway (this includes the footpath or verge).
  • Ensure that the correct items are placed in the correct sack/bin.

Maps of the areas covered by each waste collection day can be downloaded or alternatively you can use our Where I Live facility to find out when it is your collection day.
